Finished Commission

I finally finished this long overdue commission. A wine tasting group down in Newnan asked me to paint them in an homage to Renoir's "The Luncheon of the Boating Party". It's a huge piece. 72x60 inches.

Dr. Sketchy's July!

Tonight was the July edition of Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School (Atlanta Branch) and we had a pretty good time. Our lovely co-hostesses lorigami and Lisa Stock both had pressing issues to attend, so I was asked to emcee. Here are afew pics...

This is me failing to be as interesting to look at as lorigami...


Our gorgeous model, Ana Aesthetic, kept us all eye poppingly engaged. First as Psylocke...


Then as Leeloo...

Work in Progress

I started this new piece a few weeks ago and am really having a good time with it. I'd promised myself not to rush it, but I'm behind schedule on a big commission. Plus, I've scheduled a big studio rehab project for mid next week. So, let's see how much I can get done before then...

Introducing Coco!

The gag order has been lifted kids! Now that the Georgia Aquarium's "Dolphin Tales" exhibit is open, I'm finally allowed to talk about "Dolphins on Parade" and Team Artboy's contributions. Here's our first effort, commissioned by TBS...









We owe huge thanks to our friend Brooke Howell. Brooke is a beautiful and insanely talented caricaturist and sculptor. She pointed us in the right direction and hooked us up with Sculpture Depot in Denver, Colorado. They provided invaluable help regarding the best materials to tackle this project with.

What's up with LJ?

I know LJ's been a wasteland lately and I haven't done anything to better that fact on my end, but lately I've been bothered by something else. I maintain three LJs. Two feed into the 'blog' pages on my two websites and this is my personal one. Lately, I keep getting Russian spam in responses on all three blogs.

Dr. Sketchy's St.Valentine's Day Massacre!

Monday night was the February edition of Dr. Sketchy's Atlanta branch.  [info]lorigami and Lisa presented us with 'speakeasy' themed festivities and we had a pretty damned good time. Here are some pics...

The perennially lovely  [info]lorigami   passed out party favors... 


Strikingly handsome Jody kept us all entertained with arcane trivia regarding Clyde Barrow. Seriously, I was cracking up!


Jody, Lisa and oni setting the mood for the upcoming sketch...


Lori shows off my non-winning entry in an early contest...


As Chris is quick to point out, you can't keep a gallon of brains in a quart jar!


My thank you gift to Oni...


I can't recall their names, but their sketches were awesome...


Chris's gift to Oni...


My Valentine's card for Oni and Jody...


Lisa and Oni share a holiday sentiment...
